Sydney's Best Diver Training Sites
One of the most common questions we get asked by divers doing their Open Water course is where will we be diving during our training? One of the best things about diving in Sydney is our easy access to such a wide range of fantastic dive sites. Being in Ramsgate, we are lucky enough to be almost in the centre of most of Sydney's most popular sites - only a 15-20 minute drive to areas such as Cronulla, Bare Island & Kurnell National Park. The most common sites are Bass & Flinders, Oak Park, and Bare Island.

Diving the HMAS Adelaide
Some of the highlights of diving the HMAS Adelaide on December 27, 2014 with Abyss Dive Centre, Ramsgate. An excellent dive with east access into and through the bowels of the ship. Lots of sea life including a huge school of king fish and a beautiful giant cuttlefish.

The Budweiser Crab!
While scuba-diving we found this crab running around with his favorite beer. Watch carefully he almost lost the beer then he grabbed it again. :)
Sadly, during this dive we lost one of the brand new camera we where testing. :(

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
Charles Herbert Lightoller, , RNR (30 March 1874 – 8 December 1952) was the second officer on board the RMS Titanic and a decorated Royal Navy officer. He was the most senior member of the crew to survive the Titanic disaster.
As the officer in charge of loading passengers into lifeboats on the port side, Lightoller strictly enforced the women and children first protocol, not allowing any male passengers to board the lifeboats unless they were needed as auxiliary seamen. Lightoller stayed until the last, was sucked against a grate and held under water, but then was blown from the grate by a rush of warm air as a boiler exploded. He found refuge on an upturned collapsible boat with 30 others, showing his fellow survivors how to shift their weight to avoid being swamped, until their rescue at dawn.Lightoller served as a commanding officer of the Royal Navy during World War I and was twice decorated for gallantry. First while in command of a motor torpedo boat he engaged German Zeppelin L31 during a night time raid on Southern England. Second whilst in command of destroyer HMS Garry protecting a merchant convoy, Lightoller's ship rammed and sank the German U-Boat UB-110. The captain of UB-110 later claimed that some of the German survivors were massacred by Lightoller's crew, an allegation never officially substantiated. In his 1935 memoir 'Titanic and Other Ships', Lightoller wrote of the incident that he refused to accept the hands-up business, but did not go into further detail on the matter.Later, in retirement, he further distinguished himself in World War II, by providing and sailing as a volunteer on one of the little ships that played a part in the Dunkirk evacuation. Rather than allow his motoryacht to be requisitioned by the Admiralty, he sailed the vessel to Dunkirk personally and repatriated 127 British servicemen.
